    Lala Demirdjian-Attarian

    WATERTOWN, Mass.-Since January 7, the ARS Inc., the global
    Armenian women's organization, has a new Executive Director. Lala
    Demirdjian-Attarian is a native of Lebanon who received her primary
    education in Athens and secondary education in Nicosia's Melkonian
    Educational Institute. After receiving her BA degree in Elementary
    Education from Haigazian University, in Beirut, she pursued her higher
    degree in Comparative and International Education at the University
    of Oxford.

    Returning to Lebanon, Demirdjian-Attarian worked for a UN agency,
    as well as several local NGOs involved in refugee education,
    reconstruction, vocational training and preparation for employment
    skills. In 2008, she moved to the United States and worked with the
    local Armenian community educational institutions until her appointment
    as the Executive Director of ARS, Inc. She has always been an active
    member within the Armenian community. Demirdjian-Attarian is presently
    involved in research in the field of International Education and is
    a published author of studies on the subject.

    "I feel honored to be given this opportunity to have my input into the
    vast activities of the Armenian Relief Society. Considering the role
    played by the Society in Armenia, Artsakh, Javakhk, and the constantly
    reshaping Armenian Diaspora, I firmly believe that we must proudly
    support the existence of our century old international organization
    by expanding our horizons, while further developing our capacities to
    keep pace with a fast-changing world. Moreover, we should keep active
    in our cooperation with United Nations agencies and NGOS in all 27
    countries where we have ARS affiliates," said Demirdjian-Attarian.
